When running Intel Xserves and using the lights-out management of the Xserves (I’ll write more about configuring this in a later post), you should not use the security locking mechanism at the front of the xserve. Otherwise your xserve on restarts won’t reboot but instead stay down.

In essence: The big four music companys (Universal, Sony-BMG,…) should stop pushing for DRMs on digitally sold music and should finally start really making money of their music online – as they do with their not drm-protected audio-cds.

Tracks is a web-based “Getting Things Done” application written in RubyOnRails – and it’s Open Source 😉

Basicly you can add an manage contexts, projects and next actions aka todo-list items. It’s more or less a smaller version of 37signals backpackit, just for free and without the other stuff like calendar, pages, reminders and writeboards that backpackit offers.

For those of you, that don’t want to have their todo-lists and stuff on a providers webserver (like http://backpackit.com), you can host it yourself. For the others, you can use a host like http://tracks.tra.in for free.

If you don’t need the shiny look of the 37signals solutions and/or want to host yourself, it’s well worth a look. Oh, and I almost forgot, you can also subscribe to your tasks from iCal.
